Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive
Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make
Climb limits past the limits, jump in front of trains all day
[Chorus]
And stay alive
Just stay alive
[Verse 2]
Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches
Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright
Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to
Don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light
[Chorus]
And stay alive
Just stay alive
[Bridge]
People might laugh at your tattoos
When they do, get new ones in completely garish hues
[Verse 3]
I hide down in my corner, because I like my corner
I am happy where the vermin play
Make up magic spells; we wear them like protective shells
Landmines on the battlefield; find the one safe way
[Chorus]
And stay alive
Just stay alive
Just stay alive
